Chapter 194: Stretch out
The front hall of King Rong's mansion.
Princess Qingyang helped the Queen Mother sit down, and she sat next to her, while Gu Han sat down on the other side.
Plates of delicate dishes are served, fragrant and fragrant.
What is a large plate of chicken, spicy chicken, stir-fried flower nails, steamed loofah with golden garlic, Sixi meatballs, braised pork with honey...... It's all home-cooked side dishes.
Princess Qingyang first sneered and said: "What is this, it is clearly the food of the countryside, where can it be compared with what the palace dining room does?" And the third brother, my sister didn't use such a crude meal when she came to you? Isn't your chef here the famous Chef Wang, the head of the imperial dining room of the former dynasty? Could it be that the replacement is not possible at this time? ”
Gu Han frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth, when the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Qingyang, don't pick and choose, let's come here to see your imperial brother, your imperial brother naturally wants to come up with the best to entertain." The mourning family smelled this smell good, no worse than what the imperial kitchen did. Although it is an ordinary meal, it is full of color and flavor, and it must be delicious. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the golden garlic steamed loofah, and the maid on the side hurriedly served the dish for her and put it on a small plate in front of the Queen Mother.
"It's the first time I've seen this dish, I wonder what this loofah will taste like when it's steamed with garlic?"
The Queen Mother tasted it and nodded again and again, "The taste is unique, fragrant but not spicy, good, good!" ”
After admiring it, I couldn't help but point to another plate of fried flower nails, and also gave a good review.
Seeing that the Queen Mother liked these meals so much, Princess Qingyang's vigilance gradually disappeared, and she also tasted them one by one curiously. After only tasting one or two dishes, the center of the eyebrows was completely relaxed.
She looked at Gu Han embarrassedly, and apologized, "I'm sorry, third brother, I said the wrong thing." Although your cook cooks ordinary dishes outside the palace, this delicious is no less delicious than Chef Wang. ”
Seeing that the two of them gave praise to Chi Yue's cooking skills, Gu Han's heart fell to the ground, and then he said leisurely: "I won't tell you, these meals are really not made by the chef in my house, but by a friend I brought from Baihua County, and I am quite pleased that they can suit your taste." ”
The Queen Mother and Princess Qingyang were both stunned.
Princess Qingyang had a quick temper that couldn't hide things, and hurriedly asked, "Did the third brother's friend do it?" The third brother only had dealings with a few sons in the past, could it be that your friend is also a man? How can a man make such a delicious meal...... Could it be that he is a celebrity chef himself? ”
"She's a woman." Gu Han's words were loud, which made the two people next to him stunned again.
This time, the Queen Mother's shock was no less than that of Princess Qingyang, and it was even better.
When had she ever seen her son get close to a woman? On weekdays, I just have frequent contact with Qingyang, a fellow sister.
Qingyang let out a surprise "wow", "Third brother, you actually brought a woman all the way to the capital?" Could it be that you ......?"
Since she is a yellow flower girl who has not yet married, it is inconvenient to say the next words, but the energy of curiosity and exploration seems to be so eager to know how her future Langjun is.
"What is her name, and whose daughter is it?" The Queen Mother couldn't wait to interject and ask.
This kind of cooking is not something that Han Qi's girl can do. Han Qi seems to be unable to win Gu Han's favor no matter what, if Gu Han's talent and family background are suitable, she will consider another candidate for Princess Rong.
After all, seeing her son get married and start a family, with children and grandchildren full of children, is her greatest hope!
"This woman's surname is Miao Wenwen, and she is a ...... A woman from an ordinary family. Gu Han said half-truths and half-truths. After all, whenever he wanted to leave a room and deceive these two people who were most important to him by name, he felt faintly uneasy. When the truth comes to light, the Queen Mother will definitely blame him.
The hope ignited in the queen mother's heart was extinguished in an instant, and the desire to see this "Miao Wenwen" was not so strong in an instant.
How could Gu Han not be able to guess the thoughts of these two people? He continued to say quietly: "Speaking of which, she is a businessman, self-made, and has a lot of fame in the county. The two of us also met in the business field and gradually got to know each other. ”
Hearing that the other party was a businessman, the Queen Mother suddenly sneered: "Even a woman like Han Qi can't look down on me, how high my vision is, but I don't want you to fall in love with a pawn who is not in the stream." ”
"That's the third brother, the so-called 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', how can a little woman from a merchant be worthy of you?" Princess Qingyang said bluntly, "If you want to do it, you can only be your side concubine." ”
This is exactly what the Queen Mother wanted to say, but she took the opportunity to add, "If you want to marry a side concubine and enter the door, you must first have a concubine." ”
If Gu Han finds something he really likes this time, it would be better for her to agree to marry the Han family.
How could Gu Han not expect such an ending? However, since he started this way, there is no reason to back down halfway. 、
"Mother, I just call this girl my friend, where did I admit what you said?" Gu Han pretended to be aggrieved, "Miss Miao just wants to come to the capital to play, so I agreed to her request in order to repay her for helping me in business." Miss Miao's cooking skills are excellent, and I just wanted my mother and sister to taste the freshness, so I asked her to cook herself. ”
Seeing that Gu Han didn't seem to be laughing, Princess Qingyang and the queen looked at each other.
Could it be that they really think too much?
The Queen Mother smiled awkwardly, "I see." Since Han'er is your friend, you will bring her out to meet her, and eat here together. ”
It would be better to lure the woman out and dispel all doubts.
Gu Han agreed, and then ordered someone to summon Chi Yue in the backyard.
Chi Yue finished cooking, and when she was about to go out, she was looked at suspiciously by a pair of eyes, and she felt uncomfortable.
She went out of the stove room, and the maid who was serving her, Bai Ling, covered her mouth and sneered twice, and whispered to her: "Chef Wang is very disgusted with you." In the past, the Queen Mother and Princess Qingyang came, and the rest of the distinguished guests came, and even when the emperor arrived, he must have been in charge of the kitchen, but this time it was replaced by you An ordinary woman, he naturally felt quite uncomfortable. ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were very inappropriate, and Bai Ling hurriedly changed his words: "The slave maid has lost her words, how can King Rong's friend be ordinary?" Are you ...... It's unbeatable. ”
Chi Yue patted her on the shoulder and said funny: "You girl don't have to bite the words when you talk to me, I was originally an ordinary girl, if you insist on making me a fairy, I think you are not real, and I don't want you to serve it." ”
Seeing that Chi Yue was so empathetic and generous, Bai Ling really liked her, and smiled relaxedly: "The girl is really good, no wonder King Rong likes you so much, and does everything possible to make you win the favor of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother also likes you, and does not hinder your good deeds......
Chi Yue was confused, she didn't understand what this maid meant, and was about to ask in detail, when she saw someone coming in a hurry, stopped in front of her, and bowed respectfully, "Miss Miao, King Rong asked you to go to the front hall to meet the distinguished guests, please put on your clothes as soon as possible and move there." ”
Chi Yue was stunned, and didn't react for a while who this "Miao girl" was calling, and looked around for a while, but saw that there were other people besides them?
"Girl, Miss Miao is you!" Bai Ling, who was on the side, quietly pulled her sleeve and lowered her voice to remind.
Chi Yue woke up at this time, isn't her identity Miao Wenwen at this time?
She slapped her forehead, digested the awkwardness for a while, and then said, "Okay, you report back to the prince and say that I will go over in a while." ”
While going back to change clothes, Chi Yue muttered in wonder: "What kind of distinguished guests do you want to meet, do you have to dress up so grandly?" ”
Coming to the front hall, Chi Yue saw the graceful and luxurious lady, who was not the one she saw in Cining Palace last night? Immediately stunned.
Several people in the hall heard "Miss Miao is here", and they all looked at the door, also dumbfounded.
The Queen Mother and Princess Qingyang heard that this Miao girl was from the county seat, and she was born in an ordinary family in a small place. But Chi Yue's appearance completely overturned their initial inference, and they had to look at her differently.
Even Gu Han stared at Chi Yue intently, as if he had never known her. The glittering light of affection that burst out of his eyes couldn't be hidden.
I saw Chi Yue dressed in a gorgeous costume and came suddenly, as if there was purple qi from the east lingering around her.
Especially when she raised her head with her chest straight, smiled smartly, and was calmer and calmer than everyone present.
In the face of these honorable people present, this woman was so unfazed, neither humble nor arrogant, it seemed that she must have seen a lot of the world.
Especially Gu Han, I only feel that Chi Yue is so beautiful today that people can't take their eyes off it, and she is so amazing that she is like a heavenly girl descending to earth, and she overwhelms countless people in the world, so that he no longer has time to think about the woman next to him.
He had long felt that Chi Yue was delicate and lovely, and it looked extremely pleasing to the eye, but at this time, it was even more beautiful and moving, without the slightest flaw, and he had to make his heart beat violently......
"Han'er, is this your friend?" The Queen Mother interrupted Gu Han's reverie and asked.
As if he hadn't heard it, Gu Han still looked at Chi Yue in a daze, and didn't answer.
The people present saw the clues, Princess Qingyang couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and smiled, and the Queen Mother suddenly sank.
Gu Han kept saying that he didn't like this woman, but his expression at this time really betrayed him.
When did his son start to be estranged from him to the point of deception?
"Han'er, what do I ask you?" The Queen Mother was dissatisfied, and her tone was a little heavy and solemn.
Gu Han woke up suddenly, his face turned red, and he hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and said to the Queen Mother in a little panic; "Queen Mother, this is the Miao girl I mentioned to you just now. Miss Miao, this is my mother, and she is the current queen mother, and this is Princess Qingyang next to her, why don't you come and see her? ”
Chi Yue didn't care very much about Gu Han's strange appearance, she just thought that he was afraid that there would be an omission in this scene, so he lost his usual stability.
She was still neither humble nor arrogant, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Meet the Queen Mother, meet Princess Qingyang." ”
